The Event Itself

The event is expected to be a hybrid between a digital and in-person event. The event, which will run for two hours, will include the announcement of the iPhone 14, the standard Apple Watch Series 8, a new Apple Watch SE, and a new Apple Watch "pro." There is a chance that Apple will announce other products during the event.

iPhone 14 Pre-Orders

Mark Gurman was the first to report Apple was going to hold an event. The report accurately reported that the event date was September 16.

Customers can expect to be able to pre-order the new iPhones on Friday, September 9 when the new phone is expected to be released. Pre-order and launch dates for the Apple Watch Series 8 are unknown due to supply constraints.

iOS 16 Launch

In June of this year, Apple showed off major new features, including a completely redesign of the Lock Screen, the ability to unsend and edit messages, and more.

We could see the launch of Apple's new operating system between Monday, September 12 and Wednesday, September 14. During the event in two weeks, Apple will confirm the release dates ofiOS 16 and watchOS 9.

The iPhone 14 will be available to customers on Friday, September 16 according to Mark Gurman. We're expecting a lot from the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro
